The Challenger's League took place over the weekend of 30th April to 3rd May.
Full results are available.

After the League was completed, there was a three-way tie for first place between Matthew Cocke,
David Ward and Alex Rix, all with 5/7. The rules required these three to be placed in an order based
on the results of the previous year's British Championship, and then the first and second players
to play-off; as a result the play-off was between Matthew and David. David Ward won the game by 1/2 point,
so became the 2004 Challenger, to play defending champion Matthew Macfadyen in the Title Match.

Subsequently Min Yang who, due to a misunderstanding, did not meet the eligibitity criterion rules
and John Hobson withdrew from the Challenger's so the next two qualifiers, Alex Selby and Andrew Jones, played.
